So apparently purple shirt man is suing apple daily for reporting that the lady claimed she was sexually assaulted (he kept grabbing her legs).

It turns out he owns 4 restaurants in Hong Kong, yet he can't afford to feed his family.

Lies there are photos and video showing him purposely grabbing the female legs. And when you are on the floor the best way to protect is to roll like a ball using your hands to cover your head, not trying to grab some female legs.

Good luck trying to sue apple. Their pockets are so deep they can afford to play with this guy till he goes bankrupt.

I saw the whole video, and to me it doesn't really look like he was perving girls on purpose.. He grabbed one girl's legs, and then pushed another lady at her chest... I can't say for sure, but to me his motives weren't sexual.

Fucked up story of the day

A senior editor at the South China Morning Post was physically assaulted by a man attending his lecture at the University of Hong Kong yesterday and received treatment in hospital.

Cliff Buddle, the Post's special projects editor and an honorary lecturer in media law and ethics at HKU's journalism and media studies centre, was attacked by a 26-year-old mainlander, who claimed to be a student from Tsinghua University in Beijing, witnesses said.

The man, a Putonghua speaker, expressed annoyance at Buddle's use of English instead of Chinese at the university, where most of the teaching is done in English.

"It has been 17 years into Hong Kong's handover. Why is English still used for teaching?" witnesses cited the man as shouting at about 2pm.

Security guards alerted the police, who arrested him on suspicion of common assault. The man was overheard telling police he thought there was "no problem" hitting a foreign teacher.
Buddle was treated for injuries to his hand and chest before being discharged from hospital.
The 50-year-old journalist told how the man kicked him in the chest and injured his hand by hitting it with a hard-cover folder.

"He suddenly walked to the front of the class during my lecture and assaulted me," Buddle said. "There was no discussion."

HKU confirmed the man was not one of its students and vowed to review security arrangements at the Pok Fu Lam campus.

"I am surprised and saddened. It is rare for something like this to happen in Hong Kong," Buddle said.
"I am very grateful to my teaching assistant and students who remained calm and refused to leave until the attacker had been apprehended."

Wang Xiangwei, editor-in-chief of the Post, said: "We condemn this attack on our colleague, Cliff. Violence has no place in the classroom. Police are currently investigating and we trust they will handle the matter appropriately."

i'd love to hear what the follow-up to this by the police would be.

Hopefully he gets deported


What's funny is that he would have needed a student visa to get into Hong Kong, so it should have been quite clear to him that Hong Kong was not simply "returned to China"

:heckno:

lolz

even jon stewart agreed that it was a man that got mased not an old lady.... and i got failed

the gov isn't having any discussions anymore. There are less people on the streets now and US have anncounce earlier this week they don't give a shit about this protest.

I guess is over. I just hope these kids are smart enough and back off before police start using force on them.

It's not over lol

Tonight or tomorrow, there is probably going to be the biggest outcome at admiralty so far

calm before the storm?

You've got professional drivers ready to overrun the barriers....

Yeah it's not over. These "kids" aren't "smart enough" to simply give up I guess

Thank god. Keep fighting the good fight. If I was there I'd supply them food all day long

Keep 'em updates coming.

so it's dwindled down to only weekend appearances en masse and on the weekdays most people go home?

this died out quick i think Occupy lasted longer

No it died out because they were going to have talks but then China changed it's mind.

Major activity going on now. Police tearing down the protest with force at Lung Wo road.

-wondering what the student leaders of the protest have in place as a "back up plan" if the police go beast mode to use lethal forms of force against the students and to remove the barricades.

I support the "Umbrella Revolution" since day 1 hoping that maybe, just maybe Hong Kong does get universal suffrage one day.

For those on this thread that are old enough to remember like me, I remember seeing news footage of tanks rolling into Tiananmen Square back in 1989. The communist government of China is ruthless. They will do anything in order to maintain their reigns of power. Anything.

No more bloodshed, please. 1989 was bad enough.

The Communist government is not stupid. They know the repercussions of sending troops in for a bloody clear out. More than anything else, they know that they and the richest Chinese have a lot of real monetary interested kept in HK (e.g in the financial and real estate markets, among many others), and doing a hard crackdown would severely destroy their own wealth. So no, I don't think you will see anything bloody.

As a matter of fact, news reports have indicated that President Xi has decreed that the PLA will not be sent in unless widespread looting, fire, bloodshed, and other riot/chaos-like situations really develop. But Xi will also not back down on anything further because he believes the Communist government has already conceded on 2 previous issues (Article 23 national security legislation and national education).

I cannot foresee how the situation can be resolved, short of any further milder forms of police brutality being used to clear out the streets, in conjunction with triad involvement to instigate and rough the protesters up. Already, the Lung Woh Streets have already been cleared using the police brutality approach, and there are numerous reports of how the police have pulled protesters and reporters alike off to the side and physically beat them up. As a matter of fact, there is video evidence showing how one particular protester was pulled off to a dark corner to get kicked and beaten up by multiple officers while another officers take watch.

Disgusting police brutality. Those fucking pigs! Talk about disrespecting the badge. Their actions are a disgrace.
